ZIP submits not really so

[webonline]

I have found that a portion of zip submit from Copeac don't pay you after you fill in the zip. This is annoying because they are listed as zip submits and pay around $1.4/zip code yet there are additional steps required to get a comission, which aren't disclosed in the creative code or anywhere. The only way you will know if you get paid or not is by submiting a test zip code. It sucks when this happens.

are you sure it's not just getting scrubbed by IP? or something like that?

Some of the offers I tested on the IP go through and I get paid while others dont

First time I hear about something like. There are steps which the user is asked to take after the zip submit, but normally you are paid as soon as the actual zip code is submitted (expected in cases when the IP is scrubbed)

so you tested multiple offers YOURSELF?

once your IP is in the system for the 1st zip submit, it won't work for other offers from the same advertiser, but may work for different advertisers.

you could be on the scrub list - or sometimes there is a delay - just make sure to accurately track a test by deploying a special link -

Are you going through a proxy for the various offers?

the reason why some will show the conversion and some wont is because your testing offers from different advertisers.

So say you test the vacation zip, the gift card for red lobster and the macys gift card offers. Macys and the vacation might be from one advertiser and the other from a second advertiser.

All advertisers use cookies and Ip's to scrub, the cookie life might be a day while the ip is 20 minutes. If they see the same cookie or Ip combo within a certain time frame it will not fire the pixel as a new lead, since it really isnt a new lead

If you dont think this is whats happening and you want us to look further in to it, let us know the details of the offers your testing so we can test as well and speak with the advertisers if needed

Reporting often gets delayed when the system is bogged down however as mkrongel said you could be getting cookied.

Yes, I have been working with affiliate networks for sometime and these CPA networks normally have different offers that updates your stats earnings at different times.

So you may have to wait a few minutes for one offer and then a day for another as the advertisers may have to confirm some.
